 Civilians are often employed by Towns and Nobles to provide basic everyday security.  The town watch, patrols the streets on the lookout for fires or raises the alarm if they see a crime.  Watchmen might patrol a building or 'advise' customers or clients in a commercial area, while Footmen might serve a noble as doorman and as a personal guard when the family go out and about.
-This might be a starting point for commoners who would want to prepare for career with the military.  However, it can also be a dead end job, and tmany Civilian Security Guards stay in this role for life - it is (generally) easy work and it pays a regular salary.  It is better than being a farm, or dock, labourer.

-===== Militia =====
-Militiamen are the locals that the army can call on to help defend their town or village or to join in searches, hunts and other civic duties of that type.  Many are Experts, Aristocrats or PC classes with suitabe class weapons and armour, however some are L2 commoners who have attended training sessions at their local Watchtower / Barracks / Garrison etc.

-++ Why do it? | Think of the various volunteer 'emergency services', in the UK we have:  The 'Special' Constabulary, RNLI, Coast Watch, Mountain  Rescue Teams, and others as well.  In this environment, it probably has a minor tax relief and gets him a bit of extra work because he is an 'upstanding member of the community'.  Or it might just be because of the free bread and soup given out on training night. ++
